PREFACE

r | 1HE slave music of the South presents afield for research
I and study very extensive and rich, and one which has
been scarcely more than entered upon. -f.O

There are evidently, I think, two legitimate methods of
treating this music : either to render it in its absolute,, rude
simplicity, or to develop it without destroying its* original
characteristics ; the only proper field for such development
being in harmony. -; ■•'

Practical experience shows the necessity, in some cases,
of making compensation for its loss in being transplanted.
Half its effectiveness in its home depends upon accompani-
ments which can be carried away only in memory. . The in-
spiration of numbers ; the overpowering chorus, covering
defects ; the swaying of the body ; the rhythmical stamping
of the feet ; and all the wild enthusiasm of the Negro camp-
meeting — these evidently cannot be transported to the boards
of a public performance. To secure variety and do justice to
the music, I have, therefore, treated it by both methods.
The most characteristic of the songs are left entirely or
nearly untouched. On the other hand the improvement which
a careful bringing out of the various parts has effected in
such pieces as " Some o dese Morniris" "Bright Sparkles in
de Churchyard" " Dust an Ashes" and " The Church of God"
which seemed especially susceptible to such development,
suggests possibilities of making more than has ever yet been
made out of this slave music.

Another obstacle to its rendering is the fact that tones
are frequently employed which we have no musical charac-
ters to represent. Such, for example, is that which I have
indicated as nearly as possible by the flat seventh in " Great
Campmeetin '," "Hard Trials," and others. These tones are
variable in pitch, ranging through an entire interval on differ-
ent occasions, according to the inspiration of the singer.

IV

They are rarely discordant and often add a charm to the per-
formance. It is of course impossible to explain them in
words, and to those who wish to sing them, the best advice is
that most useful in learning to pronounce a foreign language :
Study all the rules yon please ; then— go listen to a native.

One reason for publishing this slave music is that it is
rapidly passing away. It may be that this people which has
developed such a wonderful musical sense in its degradation
will, in its maturity, produce a composer who could bring a
music of the future out of the music of the past. At present,
however, the freedmen have an unfortunate inclination to de-
spise it as a vestige of slavery ; those who learned it in the
old time, when it was the natural outpouring of their sorrows
and longings, are dying off ; and if efforts are not made for
its preservation the country will soon have lost this wonder-
ful music of bondage.

The melodies in this book, with few exceptions, are pub-
lished here for the first time, and the exceptions are them-
selves original in arrangement and effect. The words of the
slave hymns are often common property through the South,
but are sung to different tunes in different sections of the

country.

Thomas P. Fenner.
Hampton, Va., January i, 1874.

INTRODUCTION

IN publishing this new and enlarged edition of the Hamp-
ton Songs, little explanation is needed, for it is done in
response to a demand. Ever since the publication of the first
edition in 1874, when the band of Hampton Student Singers
werehelping to raise the walls of Virginia Hall by its concerts
in the North, there have been frequent requests for their
music. Meanwhile, though the old favorites have not been
neglected, many more melodies, striking and beautiful, have
been brought in by students from various parts of the South.
The field seems almost inexhaustible. Their origin no One
exactly knows. An old " aunty," questioned on the subject,
declared that " When Mass'r Jesus He walk de earth, when
He feel tired He sit a-restin' on Jacob's well and make up
dese yer spirituals for His people." A half-familiar strain,
recalling some old ballad or psalm-tune, now and then sug-
gests a possible solution for some of them ; and, as Lowell
said of Chaucer, " If one can transmute lead into gold, why
ask where he got his lead ? " So strikingly original, as well
as of such quaint, pathetic, even artistic beauty, are most of
them, that they justify Edward Everett Hale's assertion that
they are "the only American music."

A consideration of the slave music of the South, from the
musician's standpoint, was made by Mr. Thomas P. Fenner,
who trained the original band of Hampton Student Singers
and arranged the songs in the first edition of this book, his
preface to which is subjoined. The disposition which he
noticed in the freedmen to be ashamed of the songs of slave
times still exists. Some of the old ring is lost with the ex-
perience that called it forth. Yet the people are still natural
musicians, and it is easy to arouse in the more advanced an
intelligent interest in the characteristic music which excites

VI

so much sympathy and respect for their race, and is so iden-
tified with their past history and their present fortunes.

NOTE TO NEW EDITION

For the fourth time we are publishing these Negro Re-
ligious Folk Songs. To this edition are being added some
twenty-five new ones, for the use of which we wish to ac-
knowledge the courtesy of Professor F. J. Work of Fisk
University, Mrs. Jennie C. Lee of Tuskegee Institute, the
Calhoun Colored School, and the Penn School.

It is exceedingly gratifying to know that these songs
and Negro Folklore generally are not only continuing to hold
their own among white people but are becoming more and
more popular with Negroes themselves. General Armstrong
often referred to the plantation songs as a wonderful posses-
sion which the Negro should hold on to as a priceless legacy.
They are truly a priceless legacy. Though the words are
sometimes rude and the strains often wild, yet they are the
outpourings of an ignorant and poverty-stricken people
whose religious longings and ideals struggled for expression
and found it through limited vocabularies and primitive har-
monies. They are not merely poetry, they are more than
poetry, they are life itself — the life of the human soul mani-
festing itself in rude words, wild strains, and curious though
beautiful harmonies.

For nearly a score of years I have led the plantation
songs at Hampton Institute, and while in a general way we
adhere to the music as notated in this book, we find that the
best results are usually obtained by allowing the students,
after they have once caught the air, to sing as seems to them
most easy and natural.

" A secret prayer-meeting song, sung by Thomas Vess, a blacksmith and a slave. He especial-
ly sang it when any one confessed religion. Thomas Vess was a man whose heart was given to these
songs, for in the neighborhood where he lived, it seemed like a prayer-meeting did not go on well
without him. I have long since learned wherever he was known what happiness he got from
them." J. M. Waddy.

( This song was a favorite in the Sea Islands. Once when there had been a good deal of ill
feeling excited, and trouble was apprehended, owing to the uncertain action of the Government
in regard to the confiscated lands on the Sea Islands, Gen. Howard was called upon to address the
colored people earnestly. To prepare them to listen, he asked them to sing. Immediately an old
woman on the outskirts of the meeting began "Nobody knows the trouble I've seen," and the
whole audience joined in. The General was so affected by the plaintive melody, that he found it
difficult to maintain his official dignity.)

An' when I got dere, old Satan was dere,

Oh, yes,
An' what do ye t'ink he said to me?

Oh, yes,
Said. "Off from here you'd better be."

Oh, yes;
An' what for to do, I did not know, Oh,

But I fell on my knees, an' I cried, Oh,

Lord, Oh, yes,
Now my Jesus bein' so good an' kind,
Yea, to de with-er-ed, halt an' blind;
My Jesus lowered his mercy down,
An' snatch-a-me from a-dem doors ob hell,

An' took-a me in a-wid him to dwell.

I was in de church an' prayin' loud,
An' on my knees to my Jesus bowed,
Ole Satan tole me to my face,
" I'll git you when-a-you leave displace;"
Oh, brother, dat scare me to my heart,
I was 'fraid to walk a- when it was dark.
Cho. — Oh, wait till I get on my robe.

I started home, but I did pray,
An' I met ole Satan on de way ;
Ole Satan made a-one grab at me.
But he missed my soul, an' I went free.
My sins went a-lumberin' down to hell,
An' my soul went a-leapin' up Zion's hill;
I tell ye what, bretherin, you'd better not

laugh,
Ole Satan 11 run you down his path;
If he runs you, as he run me,
You'll be glad to fall upon your knee.

" This hymn was made by a company of Slaves, who were not allowed to sing or pray anywhere
the old master could hear them ; and when he died their old mistress looked on them with pity,
and granted them the privilege of singing and praying in the cabins at night. Then they sang this
hymn, and shouted for joy, and gave God the honor and praise." J. B. Towe.

Note. — There is so little variety to the verses of " Sweet Canaan " that we have not thought it
worth while to give them at greater length. They readily suggei-t themselves, and seem to be
limited only by the number of the singer's relations and friends.

hi Uat great gtttttuup JUdornin'.

This song is a remarkable paraphrase of a portion of the Book of Revelations, and one of the finest
specimens of negro " Spirituals." The student who brought it to us, and who sings the Solos,
has furnished all that he can remember of the almost interminable succession of verses, which he
has heard sung for half an hour at a time, by the slaves in their midnight meetings in the woods.
He gives the following interesting account of its origin :

" I have heard my uncle sing this hymn, and he told me how it was made. It way made by an
old slave who knew nothing about letters or figures. He could not count the number of rails that
he would split when he was tasked by his master to split 150 a day. But he tried to lead a Chris-
tian life, and he dreamed of the General Judgment, and told his fellow-servants about it, and then
made a tune to it, and sang it in his cabin meetings." J. B. Towe.

Cktoeon's iSanti; or, 7Bt inilfetoi)ite Worses.

The explanation which has been given ub of the origin of this curious hymn is, we think, in-
valuable as an example of the manner in which external facts grew to have a strange symbolical
meaning in the imaginative mind of the negro race.

In a little town in one of the Southern States, a Scriptural panorama was exhibited, in which
Gideon's Baud held a prominent place, the leader being conspicuously mounted upon a white
horse. The black people of the neighborhood crowded to see it, and suddenly, and to themselves
inexplicably, this swinging " Milk-White Horses '' sprang up among them, establishing itself soon
as a standard church and chimney-corner hymn.

2 Den Noah an' his sons went to work upon de dry Ian',

De ole ark a-moverin', &c,
Dey built dat ark jes' accordin' to de comman',

De ole ark a-moverin', &c,
Noah an' his sons went to work upon de timber,

De ole ark a-moverin', &c,
De proud began to laugh, an' de silly point de'r finger,

De ole ark a-moverin', &c.
Cho. — De ole ark a-moverin', &c.

3 When de ark was finished jes' accordin' to de plan,

De ole ark a-moverin', &c,
Massa Noah took in his family, both animal an' man,

De ole ark a-moverin, &c,
When de rain began to fall an' de ark began to rise,

De ole ark a-moverin', &c,
De wicked hung around' wid der groans an' de'r cries,

De ole ark a-moverin,' &c.
Cho. — Oh de ole ark a-moverin, &c.

4 Forty days an' forty nights, de rain it kep' a fallin',

De ole ark a-moverin', &c.
De wicked dumb de trees, an' for help dey kep' a callin',

De ole ark a-moverin', <fec,
Dat awful rain, she stopped at last, de waters dey subsided.

De ole ark a-moverin', <kc,
An' dat ole ark wid all on board on Ararat she rided,

De ole ark a-moverin', &c. ,
Cho. — Oh, de ole ark a-moverin, &c.

And bore de ties away.

but late one evening I was startled by a magnificent chorus from nearly a thousand black sol-
diers, that called me from my tent to listen to its most inspiring strains, and I caught the
following words which I called the Negro Battle Ilvmn.'' S. C. Armstrong.

1. Hark ! lis - ten to the trum-pet - ers, They call for vol - nn- teers,

2. Their hors -es, white their ar-mor bright, With cour - age bold they stand,

3. It sets my heart quite in a flame, A sol - dier thus to be,

Ref. — They look like men, they look like men, They look like men of war;

4 We want no cowards in our band,

That will their colors fly ;
We call for valiant hearted men,
Who're not afraid to die. — Ref.

5 To see our armies on parade,

How martial they appear,
All armod and dressed in uniform,
They look like men of war«— Ref.

6 They follow their great General,

The great Eternal Lamb,
His garment stained in His own blood,
King Jesus is His name. — Ref.

7 The trumpets sound, the armies shout,

They drive the host of Hell,
How dreadful is our God to adore,
The great Immanuel. — Ref.

Let my people go ; Let my people go ;

If not I'll smite your first-born dead, To lead the children of Israel thro',
Let my people go. Let my people go.

3 No more shall they in bondage toil, 5 When they had reached the other

Let my people go ; Let my people go ; [shore,

Let them come out with Egypt's spoil, They sang a song of triumph o'er,
Let my people go. Let my people go.
